Love, Marilyn

Love, Marilyn is billed as a fresh look at Marilyn Monroe through the actress’s diaries read out by stars including Uma Thurman and Glenn Close, but the result is underwhelming. The star’s doodles and self-help suggestions are of little note and the documentary covers well-trodden ground. Only when Monroe writes, “Alone!!!!” and “Oh, damn, I wish I were dead,” do we realise the depth of her despair, but there is no further explanation. Liz Garbus, 12A,
